[Gxp23]

Lol thanks. Gave them a go again because you reminded me



Thanks! Used to do them a long time ago but hadn't for ages



Only one page of pics lol

You forgot cardio too

Was hoping it would fall under volume lol.

[sa7soon]

thanks gerry lol

hey AT, how do you respond to someone who says that you doing LISS cardio< HIIT?

if i read AA's book correctly (been awhile since i picked it up) i think he said that there were studies showing that in the long run, both balance out in terms of energy

You have to read all 3 parts...

Haven't read it in a while, but i'm pretty sure he says you should do both for each differing scenario..

Each scenario?

I don't think you saw the main reasons I did/do such long cardio sessions. It's how I study for exams primarily, other times it is how I watch the NFL.

By each scenario I meant each person's specific time constraints/preferences.

Didn’t end up updating my log yesterday as it was a rest day but I did go over my calories by quite a bit, annoyed at myself.

I did cardio this morning as usual and then did some leg stuff. Wasn’t too happy this morning but as my knees have been quite sore since the big rack pulls. Rack pulls always seem to put a lot of stress on my knees.

Basically was still sore and was struggling with doing as much weight. Oh well, you have those days!

Training

1hr 30mins (90 mins) of cardio (walking) at 7.1km/h (4.4mi/h) @ 15% incline.

Added in 3 x 10 seconds of HIIT at the end of the workout too.

ATG squats (no belt etc)
(1) 60 (132) x 10
(2) 60 (132) x 8
(3) 80 (176) x 8
(4) 100 (220) x 8
(5) 100 (220) x 8

(11) 140 (308) x 3
(12) 140 (308) x 2
(13) 140 (308) x 1
(14) 150 (330) x 1
(15) 100 (220) x 6

(7) 138 x 6

Not sure if this has been addressed, but how does your body look after days of huge deficits in comparison to the opposite?

I'm not sure what you're asking exactly?

I look bloated and soft after high high calories days, much leaner on deficit days (obviously).

The pics in the thread were taken at night after dinner (bloated) and my 6L of soft drink/water

Jeez, with your fat intake that low how are you not moody/irritable as hell?!

[Siobahn]

Jeez, with your fat intake that low how are you not moody/irritable as hell?!

He's fat intake is on the spot I think, it is only a problem if you do low fat style longer periods of time.

Great log dude! Btw how did you dare to do curls at squat rack?

[Webber91]

Walk on your toes every day from now until your show... then say hello to your new calves

You told me that years ago as the reason for your calves, but I always forget to/CBF in the end

Friday 7th February 2014

All I can say is I'm so glad that day and week are over. Terribly busy week and crazily busy day, crap day at gym etc.

I need more staff at work!

Woke up this morning and did a bit of cardio then had PT for a client which took up 1 1/2 hours, so basically by the end of that I'd run out of time for my weights almost before work.

Today was also extremely hot again with the weekend only going to be worse.

I had a bit of ****arounditis with my weights today as a result.

Friday is always good but cause I get to relax and watch sport at night.

if you're hiring, what the benefits and where are you located haha

notsrs.

nice order btw those CnC is great - wonder what else they're coming out with this year...

[The Solution]

Eating over easily 60-100g of fiber a day? do you really think that is beneficial in the long run? could cause some problems in the future.

[Gxp23]

So, I take it you like cookies and cream flavour quest bars lol?

I've done it for years so far and see no issues.
